Gee Andy, with all that money coming back from the elec. co. you could pay for all your solar in about 100 years or so . Good for you. Maybe now, some people thinking of going a grid tie system will get a better idea of what it takes to almost make nothing from it.

Currently all homeowners and businesses in Oregon operate under a system of Net Metering where the utility will not pay you for your excess power generation. Instead they offer a one to one credit for every kWh produced above what you use which is sent to the grid.
